Chester History & Heritage is the first place to contact when you want to discover your Chester ancestors or find out about the history of Chester City and District.

We aim to help the people of Chester District to explore their heritage in ways which benefit the environment, the economy and way of life of their communities.

We develop community history projects throughout Chester District, we present Chester's history through leaflets, trails and exhibitions, and we're also the booking office for the What's On events leaflet.
